How do virtual reality & managing multiple patients relate to the Big10 Practice Ready Nursing Initiative? Check out The Sim Cafe's podcast to learn about this exciting project from the experts bringing VR to nursing education 🎓🌟 https://hubs.li/Q028ZrZn0

Higher education institutions have recently transitioned from large textbooks to tablets and portable computers, but now it's being taken to a whole new level, thanks to digital transformation. Today, students at colleges and universities across the country can benefit from hands-on simulated patient encounters, receive immediate feedback, and interact with experiential VR learning rooms. Do you see this as a positive step in nursing education? There are certainly some challenges when it comes to this learning technique. #Nursing #MedicalEducation #HigherEd #VR

Developing Nursing Clinical Judgment Competency Through Virtual Reality – MedCity News - MedCity News #Title: Developing Nursing Clinical Judgment Competency Through Virtual Reality #Summary: Virtual reality (VR) is being used to enhance nursing education and develop clinical judgment competency. This technology provides a realistic and immersive learning experience for nursing students. By simulating various patient scenarios, VR allows students to practice critical thinking and decision-making skills in a safe environment. VR also offers the opportunity for repeated practice, which can improve learning outcomes. Additionally, VR can be used to assess and evaluate students' clinical judgment skills. Overall, integrating VR into nursing education can help prepare students for real-world patient care situations. #Introduction: Virtual reality (VR) is revolutionizing nursing education by providing an immersive learning experience that enhances clinical judgment competency.

🥽 #Virtualreality simulation allows individuals to experience a sense of #presence in a virtual environment, and it has been increasingly adopted as a novel teaching method in nursing #education. 🔍 VR can have positive effects, such as #patientsafety, #privacy assurance in #healthcare, and enhanced interest and immersion in education. 👉 This new systematic literature review and meta-analysis investigated the effect of VR on the enhancement of #communicationskills among #nursing students. #XR #training #nurses #digitalhealth

Virtual reality simulations have the potential to provide a #transformative solution to many of today’s challenges in nursing education, improving on-the-job competence, coordination, and resilience. VR has shown to be a cost-effective supplement to in-person clinical experiences in educational institutions. Realistic #VR simulations in a safe environment are helping nurse learners develop the clinical judgment skills essential to delivering safe and quality care to patients.

🩺 Amid nursing shortages, UbiSim's Lead Nurse Educator, Christine Vogel, MSN, RN, CHSE, CHSOS, highlights how VR simulations can transform nurse training by fostering critical soft skills like empathy and teamwork. 💡 Explore her insights on how VR is reshaping nursing education for better patient outcomes. https://bit.ly/4bfVHIR

VR optimizing nursing clinical judgment through people-oriented scenarios, while avoiding task-oriented scenarios. Being task-oriented as a new grad nurse is a common struggle and stems challenges when transitioning to practice. My theory is that nursing students are accustomed to controlled simulation environments with little variability. However, these controlled simulations do not prepare new grad nurses for the unpredictability that is involved at the bedside. People (Patients) are unpredictable and there are many gray areas in nursing care. In my opinion, task-oriented thinking comes from too much control, and not enough variable challenges that are realistic to true nursing practice. At Tactile VR, that is why we create our simulations using AI patients and AI moderation tools to give the student variable challenges. In result, giving students better understanding of the full RN role while in school and being more prepared with extracurricular/practical challenges involved clinically. Let me know your thoughts! This definitely felt true through my own experience as a new grad nurse starting in critical care right out of school!

Using #digitaltechnology to train #healthcare professionals such as #nurses goes beyond #virtualreality, a new white paper explains.

🌟 Addressing the nursing shortage in New Brunswick, the University of New Brunswick has launched the Learn Where You Live (LWYL) program! Some great aspects of this program include: 🌐 Virtual Hub: The program is predominantly virtual, enabling licensed practical nurses (LPNs) in New Brunswick to pursue their Bachelor of Nursing (BN) from the comfort of their own homes. UNB's LWYL is the first of its kind, making nursing education accessible to all. 👩⚕️ Real-World Experience, Virtually: LWYL combines virtual reality (#VR) simulations with in-person clinical placements. These VR simulations, using head-mounted displays, provide hands-on training for real-life client care. 🤝 Human-Centered Learning: Despite the use of technology, the LWYL program takes a human-centered approach, meeting students where they are and eliminating the need for disruptive relocations. 🌱 Tackling the Shortage: UNB's commitment to accessible programs like LWYL is boosting nursing enrollment across the province, addressing the critical shortage of registered nurses in New Brunswick.
